Title: Exiftool hangs and "WaitForMultipleObjets in a pickle" error
Post by: exif-blad on November 14, 2023, 09:13:08 PM
Hello,

Using Exiftool via lenstagger, it is not acting oddly, and a reinstall has not helped.
Upon running the script, "EXIF Tool is Running..." remains until I select "Show Log Window"
At that point, the Tail for Win32 program appears, with a popup saying "WaitForMultipleObjects in a pickle!!"

Following this, I cannot use the program Exiftool again until stopping the process from task manager.
It does appear, however, that the image metadata was indeed updated. But it makes for quite the long process for multiple lenses, films, etc.

Windows 11
LR Classic 2023 v13
Exiftool 12.69
Lenstagger 1.9.2

Thanks for any help you may provide.

The popup shows a LensTagger message.  I think this is a LensTagger question... I don't know how they are running ExifTool, but it sounds like they need to do some cleanup if the process stalls for any reason (likely not an ExifTool problem, but I would be happy to look into any problems they find with ExifTool).
